Summary
Arthur Charlton is a senior software development manager with 14 years of hands-on and leadership experience building and modernizing large-scale SaaS platforms across .NET, Ruby, and LAMP stacks. He blends a hybrid leadership/engineering style—coaching engineers at all levels while remaining "hands on keyboard" and leading by example with practices like SOLID, CI, paired programming, and DVCS. Arthur has led large organizations through cloud migrations, FedRAMP High authorization, and microservices transformations, and he is comfortable owning budgets, staffing, and multi-project delivery. He prioritizes sustainable development and eliminating hero culture, using measurable frameworks like Cost of Delay to guide technical decisions. Known as a programming polyglot, he focuses on engineering discipline over specific languages and has repeatedly modernized legacy systems without risky full rewrites. Based in Haverhill, MA, he is currently focused on senior engineering leadership roles where he can scale teams and operationalize reliable, auditable delivery.
